‘Fresh clean lines in a beautifully renovated, centrally located home.’ Strikingly new The underlying first impression of this bespoke, detached home is that it has been completely reinvented from the 1950s original. The house has been totally renovated and redesigned to prioritise light, airiness and space. There is an intrinsic simplicity and beauty in the choice of textures, fixtures and fittings throughout this generous property that clearly speaks of minimalism, great design and decisions made with quality as standard. From the roadside it stands strikingly new, set back behind electronically operated metal gates, fitted with a mobile intercom and at the top of a high quality slate gravel drive. Located within the Leicestershire village of Birstall, this house has been recreated to maximise its potential and provides a combination of four to five bedrooms across all floors – one with en-suite - a family bathroom, ground floor utility and cloakroom, with a very large open plan kitchen/dining/ lounge space that opens into a contemporary garden, effortlessly combining the inside with the outside. This residence is in every way, uncluttered. Unhindered lines of sight and a neutral colour palette, provide an interior décor that emphasises the well-proportioned interior and provides a layout that is the blueprint for free flow contemporary living. Here, you have all the advantages of technology, quality features and space in a location that provides the convenience of Central England: city amenities and rural countryside within a short distance. Contemporary design, with functionality and practicality The traditional strong shape of the house has been stylised with window ledges made from solid sandstone, white painted sand and cement rendering, double glazed sash windows – inward tilting for ease of maintenance – a new composite slate roof and GRP flat roofs, reinforced with resin for additional longevity. The drive is bordered by white rendered walls, fitted lighting to the front and rear, with a complete replacement of fascia, soffits and guttering. This property has a full CCTV security system. From the drive, entry is gained through the composite front door and the entrance hall sets the standard for the immaculate interior: pristine walls, a straight line of vision, height and space. This executive home has been renovated with an exacting level of detail and attention to the fixtures and fittings. The property throughout is fitted with Buster and Punch sockets, switches and LED ambient lighting. Each interior door is carpenter made and the floor is laid with Italian porcelain tiles, 120mm thick. They hide the underfloor heating which is water radiated downstairs and electrically powered upstairs. Each can be individually controlled. The entrance hall has a Roof Maker sky light measuring two by four metres allowing light to flood into the furthest point of the hall and from where a bespoke aluminium framed glass back door permits a glimpse of the rear garden. This is the area used as the utility and has fitted bespoke Grisaille units topped with thirty millimetre Italian marble, two hallway lanterns and window ledges likewise fitted with marble to a depth of twenty millimetres. A cloakroom to the right is one of three bathing facilities within the house that have been designed by Dalal Alfaddagh Interior Design, Canada and Serafini Studios, London. The specifications for these amenities are excellent and have been maintained to their original standard. All suites are white, Bianco Perlino Stone has been used for the vanity units, and Crosswater Taps have supplied the taps, shower and additional accessories, with marble throughout. Optimised open plan living The open planned kitchen/diner/lounge is now entered and covers over half of the internal downstairs area. It is an extensive light filled room that incorporates many stylish features, seamlessly running from one purposed space to another. Beginning with the lounge a Bellfire XXL Bell View gas fire and fireplace create a wonderful focal from which to sit and relax around before moving into the area that comfortably houses a dining table and chairs, all within sight and easy conversation of those in the kitchen. The kitchen is amply fitted with bespoke Grisaille units and thirty millimetre marble worktops around the walls and on the island unit. These high quality units ensure ample storage space and a generous expanse of room for food preparation. Another Roof Maker sky light allows light to flood into the food preparation area and onto the integrated appliances including a Siemens vertical microwave cooker and separate oven, a Siemens fridge freezer, a Bora induction hob with extraction and a Quooker Pro Three fusion tap. This can provide water that can be filtered, cooled or boiling. Beyond the kitchen is the garden. The garden is a continuation of the open plan scheme as through App controlled Ultraline floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that span the entire wall, the inside and outside become one. It is a privately enclosed, low maintenance garden and leads out over Italian porcelain tiles to a Hot Springs Triumph, four person hot tub. It is by clever and practical design that these lovely areas are seamlessly linked to optimise space for maximum practicality and functionality, whether for everyday living or those special entertaining occasions. The bedrooms Before ascending to the first floor, the ground floor has a valuable asset that has yet to be investigated. A large bedroom, with walk in shower and en-suite facilities, is at the front of the house and is entered through a door immediately right after entry by the front door. This room would be perfect as a guest suite or for a member of the family requiring ground floor accommodation. From the generous living areas of the first floor the feature glass U shaped staircase leads to the airy landing and adjoining bedrooms upstairs. Here, the three double rooms on the first floor have television and power points and in one that is presently used as a dressing room, a complete wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes, while another has an Oriel Box window. The rooms have underfloor heating and wood effect Italian porcelain tiles. All windows in the property are dressed with white black out blinds. A custom built Skylark electrically operated loft ladder opens into the fifth bedroom in the loft. This is fully equipped with Velux windows. As previously explained, the bathing facilities in this house are quite superior. In the family bathroom on the first level the frameless mirror is by William Wood and there is a luxurious freestanding stone resin bath. The Velux window in this room is remote controlled and has a sandblasted Oriel Box window. The practical and financial benefits of acquiring this totally renovated property include that it has been completely rewired, and comes with a new Baxi boiler, two new hot water tanks and pumping system. The mains water supply has been refitted to increase the water pressure and a Nest Smart Control is in place for the heating and hot water. There really is only one remaining thing for the new owners to do with the property…enjoy it! LOCALITY Birstall is a large village in a region known as the East Midlands, in the county of Leicestershire. The Midlands are essentially central to everything in England: airports, motorways and train stations are easily accessible. For example, the East Midlands airport is only 20 miles away, London is approximately 107 miles away and it is possible to visit the seaside for a day trip! The M1, M69 and M6 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location. The villages of Thurmaston, Syston, Wanlip and Thurcaston are close by. Situated three miles north of Leicester city centre, Birstall is in the civil parish of Charnwood and due to its proximity to the city, it is considered part of the wider urban area. Following the route of the A6, the centre of the village is off Sibson Road. On the north of the village, the A6 meets the A46 Leicester Western bypass, which continues to Loughborough along the Soar valley. The Grand Union Canal is on the eastern edge of the area, adjacent to Watermead Country Park, which is a series of lakes in the bottom of the Soar valley. The park is a popular destination and has meadow and reed nature reserves, play trails with landmarks, and provides opportunities for walkers and cyclists to link up to the city paths or to wider open countryside along the valley. It is within walking distance from the centre of Birstall village but has large parking facilities too. Leicester City and parish councils have been keen to conserve and reintroduce green belt natural areas for the public to enjoy and there are others within the county. To discover those and find information relating to the services within the area ... would be worth checking out. The original small village of Birstall was identified as ‘Burstalle’ in the 1086 Domesday Book. The name means ‘settlement built on the site of a fortification’. At that time the sixteen acres of meadow land and a mill, were owned by Hugh de Grandmesnil and gradually grew in size, occupied by various settlers until the arrival of the Great Central Railway in 1899, when the area really developed. It continues to be a popular region with the latest addition to the area being Hallam Fields, a development on land to the west of the A6. Today, Birstall ...

A quintessentially English country home, full of character and charm.’ situated in the wonderful South Leicestershire village of East Langton, Market Harborough, Leicestershire. A little of its history. This unique residence, is a bespoke property that has been lovingly nurtured from humble origins to become a large, fascinating house that consists of four cottages. Dating in main from the Georgian period, this charming building is in a commanding position on Main Street in the delightful village of East Langton, South Leicestershire. This property is formed from a whimsical collective that has evolved into an imposing home by joining 3 brick cottages and the original building. One of the cottages had been used as the village post office in the 1920s. The separate premises now seamlessly unite as one and fold around a private, secluded walled garden. This is a residence full of period charm and maturity, richly sprinkled with traits of quirkiness befitting the age of its existence. In 1946 one of the previous owners Mr Tom Best certainly helped put the Langtons on the map by owning a racehorse called Langton Abbot, which won the Lincolnshire Handicap. It was he who discovered paperwork stowed away in a desk he had purchased with other furniture from an earlier owner, Mr Bethal. This provided written evidence of the culinary speciality made within the walls. Apparently, thousands of pounds of mushrooms sourced from the locality were delivered and made into ketchup within the factory, which now serves as the kitchen. Respectfully, future owners are not obliged to continue with this culinary speciality but undoubtedly this provides a topic to include during any future dinner party! Today, this home is a sumptuous six bedroom detached residence, with three of the bedrooms having a separate en-suite, a family bathroom, kitchen diner and five reception rooms, including an orangery. Nestled around a wonderful cottage garden that compliments the age and nature of the building, the house has been sympathetically designed to richly complement its rural location. It is adorned with luxurious fixtures and fittings befitting the vision carried by the current owners who have created a ‘quintessentially English’ home of distinction. You are assured of a warm welcome As we enter the main house directly from Main Street, the Victorian bay windows are at either side of a traditional entrance porch, where a period doorbell and name plaque herald the guest into an entrance hall with a stone flagged floor and stained-glass windows. This leads to the Georgian part of the house. The standard and presentation of the entrance is indicative of the architectural detail and period fixtures throughout the property. The reception hall is similarly stone flagged and establishes what could easily be anticipated from viewing the home from the outside. Here, the interior standard is established. The hall has been decorated and accessorised with high quality fixtures, fittings and interior design elements such as the moulded architrave framing the doors, wooden panelling and coving on the ceiling along with hand aged brass dolly light switchs. There is an attractive arched leaded window in the hall overlooking the rear garden and an elegantly carpeted staircase. A cloak room positioned immediately on the left has a tiled floor and white Thomas Crapper & Company high flush toilet, matching basin and taps. From the hall there is access to the drawing room, dining room, snug and kitchen diner. Relaxing and entertaining. Noticeably, the five reception rooms in this wonderful property are similarly stylish and yet have their own distinct characteristics. They all combine comfort and grandeur, with functionality and style. The drawing room has a large bay window overlooking the front of the property and another looking into the walled garden at the rear. In this beautiful room there are half wood panelled walls, and an open fireplace with stone surround. The dining room easily accommodates a large table, with ample room for additional furniture. It has an open Baxi fireplace, with rustic brick surround and exposed beams. This room has the second Victorian bay window that can be seen from the front of the property and looks out towards the village green. The snug is exactly as described. It is the cosiest of rooms fitted with a large storage cupboard, Chesney log burner and fitted bookcases on either side of the chimney breast and double aspect windows. There are two further reception rooms, the sitting room and orangery. To access them, the visitor must first pass through the breakfast kitchen. Pleasurable mealtimes The heart of the house is often said to be the kitchen, and, in this house, this beautiful, generous room is a dream. The kitchen is centrally positioned, elegantly designed and spacious. It is the width of the property and as a breakfast kitchen, has a large walk-in pantry and dual aspect windows looking to both garden and village. There are solid oak worktops, contrasting with painted panelled cabinetry and a triple sink provision, one double under the large window overlooking the garden and another on the central island. Both have Barber Wilson taps. Over the central island unit hangs a pan rack which completes the country feel of the room. Additionally, there is a Miele integrated dishwasher, tall freezer and fridge and space for a microwave oven. As we move away from the kitchen, the original layout of one of the adjoining cottages provides access to the front and rear of the property via a rear tiled floor lobby and hall. Reclaimed exposed brickwork and timbers have been incorporated for both steps and walls leading down into the wine cellar. A large utility room is to the right and street front of the house, which also has a door to the rear staircase. This superior laundry room is fitted with bronze Barber Wilson taps, a butler sink, pine cabinetry and worktops, and an open fireplace with pine surround and mantel. It has been fitted with under floor heating and has the appropriate plumbing to accommodate a dishwasher, two washing machines and vented tumble dryer. The orangery is the largest of the unexplored reception rooms. It is gloriously light, spacious and merges the garden with the interior of the house through six sets of double doors that provide a vista of views into the garden. A stone floor, glass atrium and stable door to the greenhouses make this the most delightful room reminiscent of a luxury spa setting and certainly designed for relaxation. If something a little cosier is to your taste, cross the passage to the sitting room having the traditional influences of period fitted shelving, pine panelled doors accessorised with brass fixtures, and dolly light switches which combine to add to the charm and comfort of the interior design. For convenience, this room is fitted with a feature gas fire and period pine surround and mantel. Adjoining it is the boot room. This has been equipped with a butler sink, bronze Barber Wilson taps and pine fitted shelving, cupboards and broom cupboard to provide convenient storage. Here, there is also a door leading directly into one of the two former stables. They are presently put to effective use one being used as a plant room storing a boiler and 2 by 300 litre mega flow water tanks. The dreamy first floor A truly delightful feature of this property is the originality and arrangement of the rooms. The first floor selection of beautifully presented carpeted bedrooms, three with en-suite, continue this characteristic. All fixtures and fittings in all the bathing areas of the house have been tastefully selected with premium quality white suites, fitted and maintained to high specifications. Decorated with white painted balusters, polished dark oak newel post and handrail the carpeted stairs leads to an airy landing from which the garden can be appreciated through a full length large sash window. There are three bedrooms looking towards the village green, one of the bedrooms has a cast iron fireplace and an en-suite with under floor heating below a fired earth tiled floor. The three piece suite comprising of shower, toilet and basin, is fitted with taps by Samuel Heath. Another bedroom has two fitted wardrobes with views over the village green and an en-suite with a Jack and Jill door to the landing.

Vendor Insight Forty-eight South Avenue enjoys a tranquil, rural location in a pretty community-minded Ullesthorpe village, and the present owners immediately fell in love with the setting. At that time the bungalow had only two bedrooms, but they had the vision to realise they could make it their dream home. They explain that working to the highest specifications, they extended the building into a spacious four bedroom home and bought adjoining land, where they built two stables to house their daughter’s horses. It has been their much loved and perfect family home for the past twenty three years. The bungalow is surrounded by the prettiest Leicestershire countryside and has a great sense of connection with the landscape. Most rooms have views stretching across the fields and the owners say they have constant pleasure from watching the plentiful bird life and beauty of the changing seasons. They have valued the connection with the natural world, and it has given them much pleasure. You can sit in the extra large conservatory with a morning coffee and follow the kites and buzzards sweeping across the skyline. The ground floor office has a bird feeder outside the window with calming views of horses grazing in the fields. However, the view from outside the hot tub room, where you open the doors to invite the garden in has a definite wow factor. It is the most relaxing way to spend some down time, in a property that offers a serene lifestyle. The family have also used and appreciated the generous space in the bungalow, where the log burner in the lounge creates a cosy winter refuge and the large master bedroom suite is the perfect adult sanctuary. It is a home that readily offers hospitality and there have been many family occasions and summer barbecues where guests and children have enjoyed the outside space. The garden lawn leads naturally onto the land and the owner recalls how each year there has been the delight of laying in the field and watching dramatic meteor showers in a night sky free from light pollution. The two stables, and hay store are visible from the house and there are local menages and off-road hacking for use, and there is a convenient rear entrance for vehicles. The bungalow has the advantage of a totally rural location but is actually in Ullesthorpe village which has a busy community life, a primary school, two pubs, a shop, doctor’s surgery, and a golf course. It is also within easy reach of the M6 and M1 for the commuter and is only 3.5 miles from the market town of Lutterworth, and 9.5 miles from Rugby train station, which is a 50-minute train ride to London.

Netherfield House is a dwelling of quality, elegance and historical charm. This stunning property has been carefully nurtured through hundreds of years and retains elements of its Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian past. With a delightful mixture of original and bespoke features, this is a house that can truly boast of being a home that is going to impress from the outset. This property is located in the village of Claybrooke Magna, in the charming southernmost part of Leicestershire, near to the Warwickshire border. The house is part of the historical narrative of the village and sits back from the roadside on Main Street. Originally constructed during the 1790s, it has the gracious proportions of a classical building, with an understated elegance and pleasing symmetry. Interior design and decorative arts also flourished during this time and within, the present day interior will not fail to disappoint with its charming observance of classical patterns, colours and textures. Netherfield House has had several extensions and additions, as previous owners have tastefully enhanced the original structure to create a large six bedroomed house of four thousand square feet. Four of the bedrooms have en-suites. There are three reception rooms, a study/office, garden room, extensive kitchen with pantry and utility, and an integral garage and store area. The common thread of these accumulative improvements is a home of quality that is lavished with period detail while primarily being enjoyed for its versatility, space and convenience. Here, there is a rare opportunity to invest in a house in a delightful village setting that offers privacy and style, whilst being only a short walk away from open countryside. First appearances From the roadside, the front of the house is bordered by a low brick wall surmounted with a black wrought iron fence, archway and gates. Larger, double gates also open to the side of the property that leads along a sheltered drive to the garage and store. There is ample space at the top of the drive for turning or parking several vehicles. Hedges and plants compliment the front of the white rendered property, including rambling roses supported by further ironmongery and with the characterful windows, name plate and doorbell pull, the initial impression is warmly inviting. A tri coloured path made from Victorian quarry tiles set in a distinctive chequered formation leads to the front door. Here, the solid wooden door is half panelled and half glazed, with multiple shapes of stained glass creating a distinctive feature from the outside and a myriad of colour from the inside. This is continued on the patterned side panes of glass too. The porch leads into the original airy Georgian hallway. Floored with solid red brick and tiles, it is worth considering who and how many have trodden this path, as they have entered this lovely old house over the years. The ground floor tour Netherfield House benefits from having been owned by people who have preserved its original characteristics and made additions that complement the style and integrity of the building. The hallway is the central channel from which all of the reception rooms can be accessed: sitting room, study, lounge, cloakroom, dining room and then through to the kitchen and sunroom. The hall sets the standard for the interior design elements and period accessories that will feature throughout the house. Here, original solid panelled interior doors, wooden architrave, a cast iron radiator and brass dolly light switches contribute to the feeling of a grand period home. The staircase is Georgian and has stair rods securing a carpet runner, oak newel post and handrail. Beneath the staircase there is a panelled under stairs cupboard and immediately to the right, the sitting room. Victorian additions to Netherfield include the porch, bay windows and French doors. Originally, the house would have been flat fronted but these permit space and sunlight from the south facing aspect to flood into the house. The French doors in the sitting room open on to a York stoned patio area, which is landscaped and bordered by flowering plants. The focal point of the room is the polished cast iron, fully working, Victorian fire place. It has tiled panels and a cast iron over mantel. The walls have dado and picture rails, and these also feature in the lounge which is across the hall. The lounge is an equally beautiful space. It benefits from a large bay window overlooking the front garden providing generous amounts of sunlight to flood the room. A Georgian style fully working cast iron fireplace, with elegant wooden surround, similarly forms the focal point. This room has its original suspended wooden floor and skirting boards. As we leave the lounge, the cloakroom is next door. This is a spacious, highly original room furnished with a genuine Edwardian Barbers Shop suite of wash basins, mirrors and cupboards. Within a dramatic interior there is a cast iron radiator and an attractive quarry tiled floor. Further down the hall on the right, the study is entered through a Victorian door panelled at the bottom but with an upper section glazed in Edwardian/Victorian reeded glass. This room has dual aspect windows, one of which is an original sash to the south and an original quarry tiled floor. It also boasts an Edwardian fully working cast iron stove. This room has a panelled door leading out into the garden room. Kitchens, both old and new The remaining reception room is the dining room and this was Netherfield’s first kitchen until forty years ago. The room has echoes of its past purpose with half panelled walls, an original window opening into the garden room and a Victorian, fully functional, black cast iron cooking stove and oven. The floor is made from Georgian/Victorian brick and quarry tiles, polished and worn by thousands of footsteps over two hundred years. It is a charming space and while seated at a dining room table, warmed by heat from the cast iron radiator, the ‘new kitchen’ can be seen, converted from the original scullery, wash room and dairy room. An open entrance from the dining room leads down three steps into the kitchen, which has a traditional industrial feel but with contemporary elements. Designed by the owners who were professional cooks with their own restaurant, this is a specialised, practical space where attention has been given to every detail. There are handmade, Shaker style, solid wooden units painted in Farrow and Ball French Grey, with black granite work tops and a butler style sink. The kitchen is fitted with a Falcon gas range with double ovens and a Panasonic combination electric steam oven. With a separate area specifically for dishwashing and clearance, an integral fridge, dishwasher, waste bins, additional sink and a dresser for crockery and cutlery, the kitchen has undoubtedly been designed by experts. It has a generous amount of classic, antique style electrical sockets, a practical floor of quarry tiles, and cast iron radiators. In addition, a large utility room off the kitchen, has ample space for all laundry requirements, including a separate sink and a pulley operated clothes airer. The garage can be accessed through the utility room. Originally in Edwardian times, this was the carriage room. It has its own fireplace and is presently used as a gym. Next door is the large room used as a workshop and store – originally the Edwardian stable - accessible from outside and by the staircase leading from the large bedroom, above. A door from the kitchen opens into the Victorian garden room, which contains an original Well in its centre. It provides a beautiful retreat from which to enjoy the views into the garden in all weathers. Being large enough to provide access from the study and kitchen, it links the spaces and allows great versatility when entertaining. At the back of the kitchen is the second staircase leading up to the rear landing. Next to the staircase is the walk-in pantry with a solid brick floor: an essential convenience for any serious cook. Off the clearance area of the kitchen is the boiler room. This contains a Worcester gas boiler and mains pressure hot water tank. Together, they heat the whole house and supply all the showers throughout the property. These were fitted in January 2022. Three staircases and the potential for an annexe From the main staircase the first floor opens up into a generous landing area which leads to a long corridor with three double bedrooms – each with en-suite - a single bedroom and the family bathroom branching off to the right and left.

Positioned within the conservation area of the small Leicestershire village of Leire, Ash House is a four bedroom detached house on Main Street. It is one of several period properties that together form the roadside houses that shape the centre of the village. Originally built in 1860, it has the characterful appeal, intrinsic charm and notable characteristics of a Victorian country home: vertical sliding sash windows, a narrowly mortared red brick exterior, chimney pots and an original panelled front door with fan light. Ash House has been carefully maintained and enjoyed by its present owner for over forty years. In that time it has been tastefully extended to provide an additional reception room and fourth bedroom. It has a generous garden room that overlooks a wonderful cottage garden at the bottom of which a double garage is carefully tucked away. Victorian features An open drive can be entered from the street and runs along the entire rear garden to the double garage. Parking for two vehicles to the side of the property, allows easy access into the house through a tiled rear porch. This is a perfect back door entrance and has provision for coats and shoes, with a door to the right opening into the downstairs cloakroom, comprising of a two piece white suite. The main front door opens immediately from the street into a central entrance hall. This has Victorian coving and deep skirting boards. It has a carpeted staircase to the front and right of the space. The original staircase is particularly attractive. Made from pitch pine, it has polished newel posts, spindles, panelling and a handrail. A large arched window on the landing allows light to flood down into the hall and panelled pine interior doors open into three of the four reception rooms: dining room, garden room and lounge. The reception rooms The carpeted dining room overlooks the front of the property and links through two sets of double doors into the kitchen and porch at the rear. This room has a Jetmaster open fire set within a period fireplace and a large floor to ceiling fitted cupboard. The proximity to the kitchen permits entertaining to be as formal or informal as required, and certainly allows flexibility, as this house has ample space for dining tables in the kitchen and garden room. The snug is the fourth reception room and has duel aspect sash windows fitted with blinds looking to the front and side. As suggested by its name, it is a beautifully decorated, cosy retreat. The lounge is an elegant and spacious room. It benefits from duel aspect windows and an integral pine cupboard next to the fireplace. The fireplace is made from marble, originally from Ullesthorpe Hall, and is fitted with a Jetmaster open fire. Original pine floorboards have been exposed and beautifully compliment the deep skirting boards bordering the room, where the height is extenuated by the depth of layered Victorian coving on the ceiling. It is a light and airy room benefitting from the internal windows and French doors dividing it from the garden room next door. The basement is directly below the lounge. It is accessed through a door under the staircase and reached by descending another set of steps. The basement provides additional storage and could be used for various purposes. Last, but certainly not least, the garden room is the combined width of the lounge and hall, and allows views of the garden to be enjoyed in all seasons. The opaque roof slants away from the main house, where an exposed brick wall compliments the tiled floor. It is reminiscent of a Victorian conservatory that would have been filled with botanical treasures. At Ash House, this lovely space presently accommodates furniture for semi alfresco entertaining.

The ceiling is lined with matching wood panels and fitted with adjustable spot lights.
